Assuming that the FA Cup win came with going out easily in the round of 16 in the CL.
CL semi for me :-)

I think Arteta will field a weak team and we'll be out early.Quote:

So you preferred the 2009 season in which we were humiliated by Manchester United in the Champions League semi to the 2017 season when we beat Man City and Chelsea to win the FA Cup. You big weirdoQuote:

Well no, but I was thinking more of a semi final against Real Madrid and Martinelli scoring a late winner to give us a 2-1 win. Then going to the Bernabeu being 90 min away from the final.Quote:

And in terms of recruiting players going forward it would be a big help. The FA Cup, not so much
Worth noting Arteta has already won the FA Cup. It was a bit boring.Quote:

The year we lost at Anfield was the worst for me. Apart from the final, obviously :-(Quote:
